PREFACE 

The  three  consignments  of  scarce  Books,  Autograph  Letters, 
and  Manuscripts  which  are  here  offered  to  the  collectors  of 
literary  rarities  form  the  most  interesting  and  important  sale 
that  has  been  held  in  this  country  since  the  dispersal  of  Mr. 
Hoe's  great  library. 

For  many  years  Mr.  Henry  E.  Huntington  has  been  the 
largest  individual  buyer  of  rare  books  in  the  world.  Long  ago 
he  acquired  literary  treasures  from  the  McKee,  Poor,  Daly, 
Heckscher,  and  other  important  sales;  at  the  dispersal  of  the 
Hoe  Library  he  was  by  far  the  largest  buyer,  and  since  then 
he  has  acquired  en  bloc  no  less  than  four  magnificent  libra- 
ries— the  great  collections  made  by  the  Duke  of  Devonshire, 
Mi-.  E.  Dwight  Church,  Mr.  Beverley  Chew,  and  Mr.  Frederick 
W.  Halsey.  It  followed  that  there  were  many  duplications, 
even'  of  excessively  rare  volumes  which  collectors  are  anxious 
to  acquire,  and  Mr.  Huntington  decided  to  dispose  of  many  of 
them.  The  work  of  sorting,  arranging,  classifying,  and  cata- 
loguing his  great  collections  is  under  way.  Only  a  few  of  the 
duplicates  are  offered  now,  but  additional  sales  will  be  ar- 
ranged from  time  to  time. 

These  books  form  the  first  session  of  this  sale  and  consist 
mainly  of  English  Colored  Plate  Books  of  the  Nineteenth  Cen- 
tury. Among  the  books  illustrated  by  Alken  are  the  extremely 
rare  First  Editions  of  Ideas,  Accidental  and  Incidental  to 
Hunting;  the  Memoirs  of  Mytton,  Nimrod's  Life  of  a  Sports- 
man, Apperley's  The  Chase  and  his  Hunting  Reminiscences, 
and  the  fourteen  volumes  of  The  Annals  of  Sporting.  Among 
the  many  fine  works  illustrated  by  Cruikshank  are  the  first 
issue  of  the  First  Edition  of  The  Humourist,  a  complete  set  of 
the  Comic  Almanacs,  and  possibly  the  only  copy  in  existence 
of  London  Characters  in  the  original  printed  boards.  Among 
Egan's  works  are  Life  in  London,  First  Edition,  Sporting 
Anecdotes  in  the  original  binding,  and  a  fine,  large  copy  of  the 
rare  First  Edition  of  Life  of  an  Actor.  Among  the  many  books 
with  Colored  Plates  by  Rowlandson  are  Poetical  Sketches, 


-t  734353V 


Naples,  Dance  of  Death,  Vicar  of  Wakefield,  Doctor  Syntax, 
Sentimental  Journey,  and  Johnny  Quas  Genus.  Among  the 
works  of  Surtees  are  Jorrocks  's  Jaunts,  Analysis  of  the  Hunt- 
ing Field,  and  a  complete  set  of  his  Sporting  Novels,  all  First 
Editions.  The  beautiful  condition,  the  fine  bindings,  and  the 
rarity  of  the  issues  will  appeal  to  all  collectors.  Among  the 
miscellaneous  books  which  Mr.  Huntington  has  consigned  are 
collected  sets  of  the  First  Editions  of  George  Eliot  and  Charles 
Lever,  both  series  of  Northcote's  Fables,  Westmacott's  English 
Spy,  Fables  of  JEsop  with  illustrations  by  Bewick,  Barbara's 
Ingoldsby  Legends,  an  unusually  long  run  of  Bentley's  Miscel- 
lany which  Dickens  edited,  and  many  of  the  important  books 
by  William  Loring  Andrews. 

Mr.  William  K.  Bixby  sets  forth  as  follows  his  reasons  for 
placing  duplicates  from  his  library  and  selections  from  his 
large  collections  of  autographs  before  his  fellow  collectors: 

ST.  Louis,  Mo.,  January  30,  1916. 
THE  ANDERSON  GALLERIES, 

New  York  City. 
DEAR  SIRS: 

During  a  long  period  of  collecting  I  have  acquired  some  duplicate 
books,  many  manuscripts  by  the  same  authors,  and  many  autograph 
letters  by  the  same  writers,  until  the  room  in  which  I  keep  them  has 
been  crowded  to  overflowing.  To  obtain  more  space,  I  have  sent  a  large 
quantity  of  literary  material  to  you  for  sale. 

For  instance,  I  own  several  of  Charles  Eeade's  manuscripts;  I  send 
you  "The  Cloister  and  the  Hearth."  I  have  many  manuscripts  of 
Henry  D.  Thoreau;  I  have  sent  some  to  you.  And  so  with  regard  to 
many  other  authors.  In  making  selections  I  have  included  many  im- 
portant items,  as  I  wish  to  have  the  sale  an  interesting  one. 

At  the  suggestion  of  a  friend  I  have  included  two  copies  of  each  of 
my  privately  printed  books;  I  have  never  sold  any  of  these  and  most  of 
them  have  been  given  to  friends  and  public  libraries.  I  also  send  one 
copy  of  Hawthorne's  Letters  to  His  Wife,  of  which  sixty  .copies  were 
printed  from  my  manuscripts  by  the  Society  of  Dofobs  of  Chicago;  the 
members  took  fifty  copies  and  I  took  ten.  That  Society  also  published  a 
Byron  book  from  my  manuscripts,  of  which  I  took  ten  copies,  one  of  which 
is  included.  The  Franklin  Club  of  St.  Louis  printed  from  my  manu- 
scripts an  account  of  the  Brown-Eeynolds  duel,  and  I  took  ten  copies  of 
which  I  send  one. 

Yours  sincerely, 

W.  K.  BIXBY. 

Among  the  interesting  and  important  books  which  Mr. 
Bixby  has  sent  are  beautiful  Illuminated  Manuscripts  of  the 
Fifteenth  Century,  two  copies  of  Burns 's  Poems,  each  with 

4 


many  corrections  and  additions  in  the  autograph  of  the  poet, 
books  from  Hawthorne's  library,  Moore's  Life  of  Byron,  extra- 
illustrated  and  extended  with  250  Autograph  Letters,  many  of 
them  by  Byron  and  members  of  his  family;  the  First  Edition 
of  Keats 's  Poems,  rare  Cruikshank  items,  and  many  privately 
printed  volumes.  Among  the  autograph  material  are  letters 
by  Nelson  and  the  captains  under  him  at  Trafalgar  which  are 
of  the  utmost  interest.  There  are  Kentucky  documents  by 
Daniel  Boone,  Henry  Clay,  and  others.  Sixteen  original 
Orderly  Books  and  Minutes  of  Councils  are  important  Revo- 
lutionary items.  Among  the  Civil  War  material  are  nineteen 
telegrams  in  the  autograph  of  General  Grant,  dealing  with 
the  capture  of  Richmond.  There  are  very  important  auto- 
graph letters  from  Byron,  Carlyle,  Dickens,  Emerson,  Frank- 
lin, Fulton,  Goethe,  Hawthorne,  John  Paul  Jones,  Shelley, 
Washington,  and  other  celebrities.  Mr.  Bixby's  consignment 
is  richest  in  the  Original  Manuscripts  of  distinguished  authors. 
Among  those  represented  are  Henry  James,  Daudet,  Dumas, 
Field,  Fiske,  Harte,  Hawthorne,  Haydn,  Hazlitt,  Hogg, 
Holmes,  Irving,  Kipling,  Lamb,  Lever,  Cotton  Mather,  John 
Howard  Payne,  Poe,  Riley,  Scott,  Southey,  Swinburne,  Tenny- 
son, Thoreau,  Verdi,  Wilde,  and  Charles  Reade,  who  is  repre- 
sented by  the  original  manuscript  of  one  of  the  greatest  novels 
in  the  language — The  Cloister  and  the  Hearth.  The  Common 
Place  Book  of  Charles  Lamb,  containing  seventy-seven  pages 
in  his  autograph,  is  an  item  of  extraordinary  importance. 
There  are  unpublished  letters  and  an  unpublished  poem  by 
him,  and  of  equal  interest  are  the  original  letters  of  Hazlitt 's 
Liber  Amoris,  the  original  Journal  of  Mrs.  Hazlitt,  and  other 
material  which  goes  with  them.  The  duplicates  and  selections 
from  Mr.  Bixby's  collections  form  the  second,  third,  fourth, 
and  part  of  the  fifth  sessions  of  the  sale. 

The  last  166  lots  are  consigned  by  the  Estate  of  Mr.  E. 
Dwight  Church,  whose  great  collection  of  Americana  is  now 
part  of  the  Library  of  Mr.  Huntington.  Most  of  these  books 
were  once  part  of  the  Frederick  Locker-Lampson  collection 
and  among  them  are  many  great  rarities  in  early  English 
literature.  Byrd's  Songs  of  Sundrie  Natures,  London:  1589, 
is  a  complete  set.  No  copy  wras  in  the  Hoe  or  Huth  sales  of 

5 


Churchyard's  Miserie  of  Flaunders,  1579,  and  this  sale  also 
contains  his  Light  Bondell  of  Livly  Discourses,  1580.  John 
Ford's  Fames  Memorial,  1606,  is  one  of  four  known  copies. 
The  Kalender  of  Shepardes,  1518,  is  one  of  three  known  copies. 
Neither  Mr.  Hoe  nor  Mr.  Huth  owned  a  copy  of  Kendall's 
Flowers  of  Epigrammes,  London:  1577.  Only  two  copies  are 
known  of  Lydgate  's  Treatise  of  the  Horse ;  one  is  in  this  sale 
and  the  other  is  in  the  Library  of  the  University  of  Cam- 
bridge ;  it  was  printed  by  Wynkyn  de  Worde  at  Westminster 
about  1499.  Shakespeare's  Henry  the  Fifth  and  his  Lancaster 
and  York  are  third  editions,  printed  in  1608  and  1619.  Rey- 
nold's Mythomystes,  1630,  was  not  in  the  Hoe  or  Huth  collec- 
tion. These  are  only  a  few  of  the  early  English  rarities. 
Among  more  modern  publications  are  First  Editions  of 
Shelley,  Swift,  Tennyson,  and  Racine,  a  long  line  of  Grolier 
Club  publications,  a  complete  set  in  the  original  parts  of 
Rossetti's  Germ,  Hogarth's  plates  in  the  first  states,  and  other 
very  desirable  items.

true  American  must  feel,  very  keenly,  the  situation  and  the 
treatment  which  you  and  your  respectable  colleagues  have  ex- 
perienced since  your  arrival  in  France,  and  I  regret  most  forc- 
ibly and  cordially  with  you,  the  little  prospect  of  a  success- 
ful termination  to  your  mission. — A  War  with  France  must 
be  one  of  the  most  unfortunate  Events  that  can  befall  our 
Country —  .  .  .  .  At  t he  same  time  we  must  remember  there 
is  a  point  beyond  which  every  sacrifice  to  preserve  Peace  only 
serves  to  defeat  its  own  purpose;  and  that  perfidy  or  dishonour 
are  too  high  a  price  to  pay  even  for  the  first  of  national

' '  Dorothy  Forster, ' '  consisting  of  about  500  pages,  mostly  4to, 
entirely  in  the  author's  autograph  and  containing  numerous 
emendations  and  corrections.    2  vols.  folio,  beautifully  bound 
in  full  brown  levant  morocco,  ribbed  backs,  line  and  scroll  gilt 
borders,  by  Toof  &  Co.    In  marbled  slip-cases.     [1884.] 

*  ' '  Dorothy  Forster ' '   has  been  considered  by  many  critics 
as  Besant's  most   successful  novel.     The  heroine,  whose  char- 
acter is  believed  to  have  been  drawn  from  the  author's  wife, 
tells  the  story  of  the  Earl  of  Derwentwater  and  the  Northum- 
brian  Eising   in   the   Jacobite   Rebellion   of    1715.      The   love 
story  is   so  skilfully  woven  into  the  web  of  fact  that   on  its 
first   appearance  the  work  was   quickly   acclaimed  one   of   the 
greatest  of  all  historic  novels. 

Inserted  in  each  volume  is  Mr.  Bixby's  Octopus  bookplate.

ROBERT  BURNS'  POEMS,  WITH  AUTOGRAPH 
ADDITIONS. 

300.  BURNS  (ROBERT).    Poems,  Chiefly  in  the  Scottish 
Dialect.    Portrait.    8vo,  original  calf,  with  watered  silk  wrap- 
pers, the  whole  enclosed  in  blue  levant  morocco  slip-case  by 
Sangorski  &  Sutcliffe.       Edinb. :  Printed  for  the  Author,  1787 
*  THE  FIRST  EDINBURGH  EDITION.     Presentation  copy  from 
Mr.  Bayley  to  J.  Wadsworth,  who  has  inscribed  on  fly-leaf  a 
Sonnet  to  the  giver  in  appreciation  of  the  gift.     The  autograph 
of  Wadsworth  appears  on  title,  from  which  another  name  has 
been  cut. 

Presumably,  this  volume  was  Burns 's  own  copy  before  it 
came  into  Mr.  Bayley 's  possession,  as  in  39  different  places  he 
has  filled  in  the  names  of  persons  and  localities  originally 
printed  with  asterisks.  At  the  end  of  the  printed  Poem  ' '  Tarn 
Samson 's  Elegy ' '  Burns  has  added  a  verse  entirely  in  his  auto- 
graph which  he  has  indicated  should  be  inserted  before  the  last 
two  stanzas,  as  follows: 

' '  Here  low  he  lies  in  lasting  rest 
Perhaps  upon  his  mould'ring  breast 
Some  spitefu'  Moorfowl  bigs  her  nest 

To  liatch  and  breed: 
Alas,  nae  mair  he'll  them  molest 

Tarn  Samson's  deid." —

*  A  most  remarkable  and  interesting  letter,  with  no  super- 
scription, save  four  lines  of  verse,  beginning 

' '  Where  'er  I  roam,  whatever  realms  I  see, 

"My  heart,  untravell'd,  fondly  turns  to  thee;"  etc. 

' '  This  is  the  second  day,  my  honored  Friend,  that  I  have 
been  on  my  farm. — A  solitary  Inmate  of  an  old  smoky 
'  Spence';  far  from  every  Object  I  love  or  by  whom  I  am  be- 
lov'd,  nor  any  acquaintance  older  than  yesterday  except  Jenny 
Geddes  the  old  mare  I  ride  on;  while  uncouth  Cares  and  novel 
Plans  hourly  insult  my  awkward  Ignorance  and  bashful  Inex- 
perience.— There  is  a  foggy  Atmosphere  native  to  my  soul 
in  the  hour  of  care,  consequently  the  dreary  Objects  seem 
larger  than  the  life. — Extreme  Sensibility,  irritated  and  preju- 
diced on  the  gloomy  side  by  a  series  of  Misfortunes  4'  Dis- 
appointments at  that  period  of  my  existence  when  the  soul 
is  laying  in  her  cargoe  of  ideas  for  the  voyage  of  Life,  is  I 
believe,  the  principal  cause  of  this  unhappy  frame  of  mind." 

Then  follows  the  announcement  that  he  is  a  husband,  with 
a  description  of  his  wife — "a  once  much-loved  and  still  much- 
loved  female" — [Jean  Armour]. 

The  margin  is  torn,  where  sealed,  but  this  does  not  affect  any 
of  the  text.

BURNS'  POEMS  WITH  HIS  OWN  AUTOGRAPH 
CORRECTIONS. 

305.  BURNS    (ROBERT).     Poems.      8vo,   half   calf    (no 
title  and  hole  in  last  leaf).     [1792.] 

*  This  is  the  identical  copy  of  the  first  volume  of  the  third 
edition    (published  in   1792)    of  the  Poems   of   Eobert   Burns, 
corrected  by  the  Poet  himself,  for  the  publication  of  the  last 
edition  of  the  Poems  issued  in  his  lifetime.     This  last  edition 
was  printed  by  John  Paterson  in  1794,  and  the  present  volume 
therefore  contains  the  text  as  Burns  finally  left  it. 

This  precious  volume  was  originally  in  the  possession  of  F. 
Murdoch,  corrector  for  the  Press  in  the  printing  office  of  John 
Paterson  of  Edinburgh,  who  printed  the  1794  edition  of  the 
Poems.  Murdoch  sent  the  volume  to  Archibald  Constable,  the 
publisher,  to  present  in  turn  to  Mr.  Cromek  (doubtless  as  ma- 
terial for  his  "Keliques  of  Burns,"  which  appeared  in  1808), 
and  the  original  autograph  letter  sent  by  Murdoch  to  Constable 
relative  to  this  corrected  volume  is  inserted.  While  in  Mur- 
doch's possession  a  mouse  nibbled  some  of  the  margins  of  the 
leaves,  and  in  his  letter  to  Constable,  Murdoch  says :  "A  mouse 
has  made  dreadful  depredations  on  a  number  of  the  leaves 
which  was  certainly  unkind,  considering  the  affectionate  man- 
ner in  which  the  Poet  has  addressed  one  of  the  race." 

On  the  back  of  Mr.  Murdoch 's  letter  is  a  note  concerning  him 
written  by  Archibald  Constable,  and  on  the  fly-leaf,  the  latter 
has  written  and  signed  in  full  a  note  reading: 

' '  This  is  the  first  volume  of  the  third  edition  of  Burns ' 
Poems  printed  in  the  year  1792.  And  it  is  the  identical  copy 
corrected  purposely  by  the  Author  for  the  last  edition  pub- 
lished in  his  lifetime  and  which  was  printed  at  Edinburgh  by

There  are  42  corrections  in  all,  41  of  which  are  by  Burns. 
They  consist  of  changes  of  words,  punctuation  marks,  and  in 
some  instances  of  entire  lines.

Burr,  Reprinted  in  full  from  the  Original  Manuscript  in  the 
Library  of  W.  K.  Bixby  of  St.  Louis,  Mo.    With  an  Introduc- 
tion, Explanatory  Notes  and  Glossary.     Portraits  and  fac- 
similes.   2  vols.  thick  8vo,  boards,  uncut.          Rochester,  1903 

*  A     WORK     OF     EXTRAORDINARY     PERSONAL     AND     HISTORICAL 
INTEREST. 

Only  250  copies  were  printed  by  Mr.  Bixby;  these  were  ex- 
clusively for  private  distribution  and  most  of  them  were  pre- 
sented by  him  thirteen  years  ago  to  public  libraries  in  this 
country  and  Europe.  The  Journal  was  written  when  Burr 
was  in  Europe,  whither  he  had  gone  after  his  duel  with  Ham- 
ilton, the  collapse  of  his  Southwestern  enterprises,  and  his  trial 
and  acquittal  on  the  charge  of  treason.  It  was  not  written 
with  the  expectation  that  it  would  be  published;  indeed,  as  he 
explains,  it  was  ' '  to  talk  from ' '  and  not  to  be  read.  Soon  after 
Burr's  death  his  biographer,  Matthew  L.  Davis  pretended  to 
print  the  Journal,  but  he  omitted  thousands  of  curious  passages, 
including  all  those  in  French,  cut  out  whole  pages  in  scores  of 
cases,  and  took  the  greatest  liberty  with  the  remainder  of  the 
text,  occasionally  altering  Burr's  language  and  inserting  words 
that  he  never  used. 

Here,  however,  the  Journal  is  printed  exactly  as  Burr  wrote 
it,  and  all  the  suppressed  passages  have  been  restored.  Burr 
wrote  with  extraordinary  freedom,  and  the  Journal  is  a  faith- 
ful record  of  the  life  of  a  man  of  daring  and  intrigue,  who 
traveled  all  over  Europe  and  was  in  daily  association  with  men 
and  women  in  all  ranks  of  life. 

The  introduction  embodies  a  sketch  of  the  extraordinary 
career  of  Burr,  written  from  new  material;  and  there  are  elab- 
orate notes  which  not  only  explain  the  text  but  give  descrip- 
tions of  the  important  places  that  Burr  visited  and  sketches 
of  the  prominent  rulers,  statesmen,  and  literary  characters 
with  whom  he  associated.

James  .  .  .  Containing  Anecdotes  Communicated  to  her  by 
H.  R.  H.  The  Duke  of  York.     Autograph  manuscript,  con- 
sisting of  about  160  quarto  pages,  with  numerous  corrections 
and  additions;  Also,  the  printed  "Memoirs  of  Mrs.  M.  A. 
Clarke,"  in  2  vols.  sheets,  with  several  sheets  of  proof.    All 
contained  in  a  4to  case  of  full  green  levant  morocco,  gilt  let- 
tered and  tooled,  by  The  Zahn  Bindery,  Memphis. 

[Ca.  1813] 

*  Mrs.  Clarke  was  mistress  of  Duke  of  York  from  1803-9  and 
her  indiscretions  resulted  in   his  being  obliged   to   resign   the 
office    of    Commander-in-Chief    of    the    British    Army.       The 
printed  "Memoirs"   contain  the  letters  addressed  to  her  by 
the   Duke,    for   the   originals   of   which   Mrs.    Clarke   received 
£7000  cash  and  a  pension  of  £400  a  year.     The  present  un- 
bound copy  apparently  is  one  which  escaped  destruction  when, 
according  to  the  National  Dictionary  of  Biography,  the  entire 
edition,   excepting  one   copy   deposited   at  Drummond's   Bank, 
was  destroyed. 

The  manuscript  ' '  Eecollections "  are  of  later  date  than  the 
"Memoirs,"  and  contain  the  history  of  the  latter 's  suppres- 
sion. They  embrace  only  the  first  volume,  which  is  probably 
all  that  was  written,  though  three  volumes  are  mentioned  on 
title. 

The  anecdotes  are  frank  and  the  names  of  prominent  mem- 
bers of  Court  Circles  are  used  with  the  greatest  freedom.

by  Fiske  in   red   ink  throughout,   and   an   interesting   leaf

in  style,  sane  in  his  proportions,  and  abounding  in  informa- 
tion, Hamilton  in  his  'Itinerarium'  has  made  posterity  his

This  duplication  and  omission,  however,  does  not  affect  the 
text  and  the  manuscript  is  complete.     The  corrections  on 
the  proof  sheets  are  slight  changes  from  the  text  of  the  MS. 
This  story  first  appeared  in  the  "Overland  Monthly."

affairs. 

534.  HARTE  (FRANCIS  BRET).  Autograph  Manuscript, 
"Studies  of  Western  Manners  and  Civilization."     6  pp.  Svo. 

*  This   is   a  contribution   to   the   "Overland   Monthly"   of 
which  Bret  Harte  was  the  originator  and  editor.    It  appears 
to  be  a  Review  of  the  contributions  for  the  past  year,  and 
among  them  mentioning  many  of  his  own  works  as  pioneers 
in  the  literature  of  the  Pacific  Slope  and  the  peculiar  dialect 
of   Western   mining   life.     He   claims   for   the   "Overland,"

*  To  Sir  Joseph  Banks,  President  of  the  Royal  Society.    A

of  the  health  of  that  city,  the  good   relations  established 
with  the  Sikhem  Rajah,  and  its  advantage  as  a  communica-

537.  HAWTHORNE  (NATHANIEL).    Autograph  Manu- 
script, 2  pp,  Svo,  written  over  a  letter  from  J.  T.  Fields  re- 
garding printer's  proofs  for  HawTthorne. 

*  The  manuscript  apparently  contains  the  first  rough  out- 
line of  a  plot,  the  central  theme  of  which  deals  with  the 
inevitable  consequences  of  evil.    An  old  scholar  has  a  secret 
of  renewing  youth  and   "grows  backward,"  hoping  in  his 
second  youth  to  correct  the  great  error  of  his  past,  "but  finds 
that  the  evil  is  ineradicable,  unless  he  will  pull  up  a  great 
deal  more  good  with  it,"  etc.

in  "Dr.  Grimshawe"  and  "Our  Old  Home." 

539.  HAWTHORNE  (NATHANIEL).     Manuscript  Note, 
written  by  Hawthorne  on  scrap  of  paper  and  later  incor- 
porated into  his  "Dr.  Grimshawe 's  Secret." 

*  "A  man  in  Lancashire,  icho  swore  so  horribly,  one  day, 
that  a  plane  tree  in  front  of  his  cottage  is  said  to  have 
withered  aivay  from   that  very  hour."     Interesting  as  an 
example  of  Hawthorne's  practice  of  treasuring  stray  thoughts 
or  curious  scraps  of  lore  upon  all  occasions.

540.  HAWTHORNE  (NATHANIEL).    Hawthorne 's  Pass-

Hathorne,  Salem,  1825"  and  "Nathaniel  Hathorne,  Bowdoin 
College,"  and  on  the  preceding  page  a  few  lines  have  been 
added,  also  in  the  novelist's  autograph. 

On  the  fly-leaf  is  a  long  note  by  Julian  Hawthorne  regard- 
ing this  Log.  He  says  in  part:  "This  book  became  the  com- 
panion of  his  [the  novelist's]  childhood  and  boyhood.  He 
was  in  the  habit  of  poring  over  it,  and  made  up  many  im- 
aginative stories  for  himself  about  the  events  of  the  voyage. 
In  particular  he  was  interested  in  the  fight  with  the  French 
Privateer.  This  is  the  only  log  book  of  Capt.  Hathorne  in 
existence."

*  "I  send  the  preface  to  the  new  volume  of  tales.     If  a 
perfect  copy  of  'Major  Molineaux'  cannot  be  found,  I  think 
the  imperfect  copy  had  better  ~be  sent  to  me  and  I  will  re- 
write tohat  is  missing.    I  find  myself  getting  low  in  funds 
and  as  I  intend  to  leave  Lenox  in  two  or  three  weeks,  I  shall 
need  a  hundred  dollars,  to  get  away  with.    Will  you  be  kind 
enough  to  send  this  sum? — I  dont  care  how  soon,"  etc.    The 
preface  referred  to  is  presumably  for  "The  Snow  Image."

574.  HAWTHORNE  (NATHANIEL).    Manuscript  letter, 
entirely  in  Hawthorne's  autograph.    4  pp.  4to.    The  Wayside, 
July  2,  1863. 

*  The   entire   dedicatory   letter   to   Franklin   Pierce,   com- 
mencing,  "To   a   Friend,"   which  appeared   in   Hawthorne's 
"Our    Old    Home."      The   dedication    largely    relates   to   the 
author's  impressions  of  England  and  somewhat  qualifies  an 
asperity  of  sentiment  expressed  toward  many  things  Eng- 
lish.    There  are  several  minor  differences  between  this  and 
the  version  published,  and  an  entire  change  toward  the  end. 
The  final  paragraph  in  this  manuscript  relates,  not — as  in 
the  published  dedication — to  the  author's  personal  friend- 
ship for  Pierce,  but  to  the  great  issues  of  the  Civil  War. 
Referring  to  the  Presidency,  he  says  here,  "Can  it  ~be  that 
no  man  shall  hereafter  reach  that  elevated  seat! — that  its 
platform  which  we  deemed  to  be  so  firmly  laid,  has  crum- 
bled  beneath  it! — that  a  chasm   has  gaped  wide  asunder, 
into  which  the  unbalanced  chair  of  state  is  about  to  fall. 
....  I  might  even  deem  it  allowable  for  myself  in  the  last 
resort,  to  be  content  with  half  the  soil  that  was  once  our 
broad  inheritance;  ....  and  lohether  the  Union  is  to  be 
henceforth  a  living  giant,  or  a  mangled  and  dismembered 
corpse,  it  will  be  said  of  you  that  this  mighty  polity  or  this 
miserable   ruin,    had   no    more    loyal,    constant,    or   single- 
minded  upholder  than  Franklin  Pierce." 

The  manuscript  was  originally  in  the  Lccker-Lampson 
library  and  has  a  footnote  by  the  author's  son,  Julian, 
"written  by  Nathaniel  Hawthorne."

lines  of  original  draft  from  The  Dolliver  Romance,  written  by 
Hawthorne  on  blank  spaces  of  a  letter  addressed  to  him  re- 
questing his  autograph.    The  notes  are  copied  by  Mrs.  Haw- 
thorne on  same  sheet.    2  pp.  8vo,  [Novr.  1863?] 

*  The  manuscript  is  of  that  passage  at  the  end  of  the 
first   scene  of   the   "Dolliver   Romance,"   describing   "those 
seasons,   happier  than  even  these,  when  Pansie  had  bten 
kissed  and  put  to  bed,  and  Grandsire  Dolliver  sat  by  his 
fireside  gazing  in  among  the  massive  coals,"  etc.    This  first 
draft  differs  only  immaterially  from  the  published  version.

HAWTHORNE'S    OWN    COPIES    OF    STATE    TRIALS. 

The  following  nine  lots  form  a  complete  set  of  State  Trials, 
though  the  editions  are  not  all  uniform.  The  set  was  pre- 
sented to  Nathaniel  Hawthorne  by  his  publishers,  Ticknor  & 
Fields,  in  1863,  the  year  which  saw  the  publication  of  his 
English  work,  "Our  Old  Home."  Hawthorne  drew  on  the 
information  contained  in  these  volumes  in  connection  with  his 
writings,  and  Mrs.  Hawthorne,  in  a  letter  to  her  daughter  Una 
quoted  in  Julian  Hawthorne's  biography  of  his  father,  tells 
of  her  husband's  reading  "in  one  of  his  huge  books  of  the 
English  State  Trials. ' '  Each  volume,  except  the  last,  contains 
the  armorial  bookplate  of  William  Hammond  and  all  have  the 
Bixby  bookplate  designed  by  E.  D.  French,  except  volume  7, 
which  contains  the  one  by  Spenceley.

585.  HAWTHORNE    (NATHANIEL).       Original   manu- 
script.    37   pp.    (not   consecutive),   containing  about  20,000 
words  of  "Doctor  Grimshawe's  Secret,"  written  in  Concord, 
1863. 

*  This  highly  important  manuscript  is  accompanied  by  a 
letter  written  by  the  author's  son,  Julian,  regarding  it.     He 
explains  that  Hawthorne  made  two  studies  of  this  romance, 
the  first  being  carried  through  to  the  end  of  the  story;    and 
the  latter  only   about  half  way,  where  the   author's  work 
stopped.    In  the  published  version,  edited  by  Julian,  the  re- 
written first  half  was  pieced  to  the  latter  half  of  the  orig- 
inal version. 

Referring  to  the  present  37  pp.  Julian  Hawthorne  writes: 
"They  all  belong  to  the  first  version;  and  are  mainly  occu- 
pied with  the  author's  speculations  as  to  how  the  plot  and 
characters  should  be  developed.  These  speculations  form 
an  informal  essay  or  discussion.  The  author  would  break 
off  to  attack  the  problems  that  were  perplexing  him  and  the 

attack  would  often  be  carried  through  several  pages 

It  had  been  my  intention  to  publish  them  as  one  of  the  most 
curious  and  interesting  side-lights  upon  the  methods  of  a 

great  writer  with  which  I  am  acquainted The  lohole 

group  of  sheets  was  afterward  mislaid  and  have  but  just 
come  to  light  again." 

The  manuscript  is  closely  written  on  37  quarto  pages, 
numbered  (irregularly)  from  9  to  73.

3864. 

*  "Name  was  Nathaniel  Hawthorne,  not  N.  T.  Hawthorne. 
I  hardly  felt  willing  to  open  a  letter  so  addressed,  for  it  did 
not  seem  for  me." 

587.  HAWTHORNE  (NATHANIEL).    A.  L.  S.,  1  p.  8vo. 
Concord,  March  9,  1864.    To  Franklin  Pierce,  postponing  their 
trip  a  few  days.    ".  .  .  .  A  little  exertion  fatigues  me  but  I 
am  much  better  within  a  short  time  and  expect  to  go  on  im- 
proving to  a  reasonable  extent,  which  at  one  time,  in  my 
secret  mind,  I  hardly  hoped  for. ' ' 

*  The  trip  referred  to  in  this  letter  was  eventually  under- 
taken the  following  May.     It  was  while  traveling  with  his 
friend  at  that  time  that  Nathaniel  Hawthorne  died.

*  A  fine  manuscript,  with  orchestral  accompaniment.    The 
Score  is  the  Final  Chorus  from  an  unpublished  and  hitherto 
unknown  Cantata,  with  Latin  text.    The  figure  "68"  on  the 
last  page  seems  to  indicate  that  the  Cantata  was  composed 
in  1768,  during  the  time  of  Haydn's  stay  at  Eisenstadt  in 
Hungary,   and   his  appointment  there   as  Capellmeister   to 
Prince  Esterhazy. 

From  the  well-known  collection  of  musical  autographs  of 
the  late  Aloys  Fuchs,  member  of  the  Imperial  Court  Chapel, 
of  Vienna,  whose  certificate  guaranteeing  the  genuineness 
of  the  autograph  appears  on  the  title-page.

A.  L.  S.  of  Sarah  Walker  to  him,  and  various  other  A.  L's  S.

the  family.     Inlaid  to  large  folio  and  bound  in  full  levant 
morocco,  richly  gilt  and  ornamental  borders,  by  Riviere. 

*  This   remarkable  collection  consists  of  11   letters   from 
Hazlitt  to  his  friend  Patmore,  written  between  March  30th 
and  July  8th,  1822,  and  occupying  38  pages,  both  folio  and 
quarto.      It   is   these   letters   which   form   the   Appendix   of 
"Unpublished   Correspondence"   which   appears   in   the   edi- 
tion of  "Liber  Amoris"  privately  printed  in  1894,  with  the 
Le  Galienne  Introduction. 

Besides  the  Hazlitt  letters,  there  is  a  modest  letter  from 
Sarah  Walker  to  Hazlitt,  which  appears  as  letter  I  in  the 
correspondence  above  referred  to.  [The  only  one  existing.] 
There  are  also  2  letters  from  his  son  William,  one  each  to 
his  father  and  his  mother;  one  of  W.  H.  about  "proof- 
sheets";  11  long  letters  from  the  first  Mrs.  Hazlitt  and 
various  members  of  the  family;  Manuscript  account  with 
him  for  lodgings,  and  a  manuscript  announcement  of  his 
death. 

In  addition  to  the  foregoing  extraordinary  series  of  let- 
ters, forming  a  remarkable  collection  of  original  matter 
connected  with  William  Hazlitt's  most  famous  book,  there 
is  a  Manuscript  volume  of  59  leaves,  being  the  ONLY  MANU- 
SCRIPT KNOWN  OF  "LIBER  AMORIS."  This  manuscript  is  writ- 
ten in  a  hand  other  than  Hazlitt's,  presumably  by  Patmore, 
but  there  is  evidence  that  it  passed  through  Hazlitt's  hands 
by  reason  of  an  entire  page  in  his  autograph,  being  an  ex- 
tract from  one  of  the  original  letters,  with  a  memo,  also  in 
his  hand,  on  the  blank  reverse  side  of  one  of  the  leaves. 

This  latter  volume  is  bound  in  limp  leather,  and  is  pre- 
served in  a  morocco  slip  case. 

There  is  also  included  with  these  two  volumes,  the  manu- 
script Diary  of  Mrs.  Hazlitt,  entitled  "JOURNAL  OF  MY  TRIP 
TO  SCOTLAND." 

This  trip  was  taken  for  the  purpose  of  procuring  a  divorce 
from  her  husband,  and  deals  at  length,  and  with  the  most 
curious  freedom  of  language,  with  all  the  events  connected 
with  her  suit.  At  this  very  time  Hazlitt  was  carrying  on. 

89 


his  liaison  with  Sarah  Walker,  and  Mrs.  Hazlitt  gives  full 
account  of  her  discussions  with  her  husband  over  this  affair. 

The  Journal  consists  of  97  pages  of  manuscript  in  the 
hand  of  Mrs.  Hazlitt  (one  leaf  appears  to  be  lacking  at  the 
end),  4to,  boards,  half  roan,  preserved  in  full  levant  morocco 
slip-case. 

These  three  volumes,  possessing  the  most  intense  interest, 
and  exhibiting  the  morbid  workings  of  a  brilliant  mind,  in 
its  grossest  form,  present  one  of  the  most  extraordinary 
narratives  in  the  English  language,  rivalling  the  Confes- 
sions of  Rousseau.

R.  R.,  and  the  Va.  and  Tenn.  R.  R.  if  their  force  is  sufficient. 
You  will  see  the  importance  of  preventing  this  if  possible 
....  you  are  therefore  desired  to  join  Gen.  Wise  at  the 
W.  8ulphur  and  to  reoccupy  Lewisburg  with  your  united 
forces " 

Shortly  after  this  occurred  Floyd's  defeat  by  Rosecrans  at 
Carnifex  Ferry.

heard  the  Choir,  and  tho  only  a  few  hours  new — was  known 
and  ushered  into  a  grand  Hall  in  the    '  Nave '  if  that  is  the

will  relate  if  he  ever  lives  to  reach  home.    "It  is  as  much  be- 
yond me  to  have' conceived  the  absurdity  as  it  would  be  for  me

envelope.    2  pieces. 

*  A  bright  letter — "I  suppose  my  popularity  must  be  deemed 
a  question  of  ownership  and  having  outlined  Thackeray  and 
Dickens  I  have  succeeded  to  a  sort   of   'Tontine'   of  fame — 
for  otherwise  I  could  not  account  for  the  exaggerated  notori- 
ety I  seem  to  have  acquired,  so  that  people  are  quarrelling  over 
whose  guest  I  am  to  be  $•  whether  this  one  or  that  owns  me 
for  feeding  next."

land a  large  framed  photo  of  myself,  horribly  aged  and  care 
worn,  very  fat,  stolid  and  damnably  like"  ....  "There  is  no 
way  in  which  a  man's  age  is  more  painfully  impressed  upon 
him  than  by  the  artless  familiarity  with  which  young  ladies 
($•  pretty  ones)  write  notes  to  him,"  etc.

12th,   1867.     It  might  be  termed  a  "literary  diary,"  as  the 
entries   relate   almost   exclusively   to   his   literary   work   during 
that  period,  and  the  reader  may  see  the  writer's  progress  from 

104

Regents  Park,  Wednesday.    To  James  Redpath.    Mentioning 
his  wife,  and  stating  that  "the  rumour  of  her  intended  visit

of  Mrs.   Bordley.     Mrs.  Lewis  writes  in  a  high  strain  of  re- 
ligious feeling  and  expresses  great  anxiety  and  affection.     The 
writer  of  the  letter  was  one  of  the  two  younger  children  of 
John   Parke   Custis,  whom   Washington   adopted   on  the   death 
of  his  stepson  at  the  Siege  of  Yorktown.     Has  a  small  piece

*  A  characteristic  letter   asserting  that  the  heroic  spark  in 
"Bedan"    Massy    was    kindled    by    his    study    of    Scott's    ro- 
mances.    "It  is  long   "before  the  Brothal  Philosophy   of  Sir 
Liar's  [her  husband's]  plagiaries  could  turn  out  such  a  char- 
acter or  any  but  a  cold  blooded  profligate."    There  are  several 
other  observations  in  her  usual  vein.

In  quite  a  number  of  cases  those  noted  above  are  represented 
by  more  than  one  specimen,  and  in  some  cases  there  are  as 
many  as  five  and  six  examples.  The  whole  comprises  a  remark-

ORDERLY  BOOKS  OF  THE  AMERICAN  REVOLUTION.

16  vols.  8vo  and  small  4to,  original  wrappers,  each  volume 
preserved  in  a  crimson  morocco  slip-case. 

*  These  extremely  interesting  and  important  records  present 
the  intimate  life  of  the  regiments,  not  only  as  an  individual  unit, 
but  in  connection  with  the  army  as  a  whole.  This  is  one  of  the 
largest  collections  of  Orderly  Books  ever  offered.  They  form  a 
complete  history,  as  recorded  by  the  Adjutant  of  the  8th  Mass., 
from  May  23,  1778,  to  March  30th,  1783,  in  almost  unbroken 
sequence. 

The  volumes  begin  with  the  preliminary  movements  of  the 
Army  towards  Monmouth,  and  after  the  battle,  the  inarch  of 
the  troops  from  thence  to  West  Point,  including  various  camps 
at  Croton  Bridge,  Peekskill,  White  Plains,  Hartford,  Newburgh,

A  MOST  VALUABLE  AND  IMPORTANT  SERIES  OF  ENTRIES  Con- 
tained in  these  volumes  are  those  relating  to  the  Court  Martial 
of  Maj.  Gen.  McDowell,  beginning  April  14th,  1782,  and  con- 
tinuing until  August  28th,  1782,  OF  WHICH  TRIAL  WE  ARE  UN- 
ABLE TO  FIND  ANY  OTHER  RECORDED  ACCOUNT,  the  many  histories 
and  biographies  consulted  being  absolutely  silent  on  the  subject. 
The  record  here  given  relates  not  only  the  charges  in  detail, 
but  also  the  verdict  of  the  Court,  taking  up  each  of  the  eight 
charges,  with  the  findings  complete.  The  execution  of  the  ver- 
dict, which  was  a  reprimand  in  General  Orders,  by  the  Com-

cism Poe  writes  that  Simms  was  unappreciated  because  he  was 
an  American  "as  yet  unaccredited  in  our  Eepublic  of  Letters 
....  Had  he  been  even  a  Yankee,  this  genius  would  have  been 
rendered   immediately    manifest    to    his   countrymen — but    un- 
happily (perhaps)  he  was  a  Southerner,  and  united  the  South- 
ern pride — the  Southern  dislike  to  the  making  of  bargains — 
with  the  Southern  supineness  and  general  want  of  tact  in  all

ORIGINAL  MANUSCRIPT  OF  "THE  CLOISTER  AND 
THE  HEARTH." 

805.  READE  (CHARLES).  The  Cloister  and  the  Hearth. 
The  Original  Autograph  Manuscript,  written  in  ink  on  about 
eight  hundred  quarto  and  folio  pages,  carefully  inlaid  to  large 
folio,  and  contained  in  four  vols.  handsomely  bound  in  full 
dark  blue  levant  morocco,  elaborately  tooled  with  gilt  borders 
on  back  and  sides,  gilt  inside  borders  with  doublures  and  end 
pages  of  crimson  watered  silk,  gilt  tops,  by  Riviere. 

*  Charles  Beade  's  greatest  novel,  ' '  The  Cloister  and  the 
Hearth,"  was  published  in  1861.  About  a  fifth  of  the  story 
as  it  appears  here  was  originally  published  in  ' '  Once  a  Week, ' ' 
in  1859,  under  the  title  ' '  A  Good  Fight, ' '  and  in  comparison 
seems  to  have  been  a  mere  outline  of  the  general  plot.  As 
the  MS.  shows,  the  tale  was  vastly  expanded  in  the  two  follow- 
ing years.  When  published  it  was  hailed  by  many  of  his  con- 
temporaries as  the  greatest  historical  novel  in  the  English 
language.  In  the  chief  characters  of  the  story,  "Margaret" 
and  ' '  Gerard, ' '  are  portrayed  the  parents  of  the  illustrious 
Erasmus. 

It  appears,  from  the  following  notations  made  in  compar- 
ing this  MS.  with  the  printed  story,  that  it  is  the  first  draft, 
as  the  author  assembled  his  ideas  in  elaborating  the  magazine 
version. 

The  first  twelve  chapters  are  made  up  of  the  printed  text 
of  the  magazine  version,  interspersed  with  numerous  emenda- 
tions in  Reade's  autograph.  The  remainder  is  in  the  author's 
autograph,  except  in  the  few  instances  as  hereafter  noted. 

Chapters  21,  22,  and  part  of  23  in  the  published  work  do 
not  appear  in  the  MS. 

At  the  end  of  the  first  volume  is  a  revised  version  of  the 
greater  portion  of  chapter  24  rewritten  by  an  amanuensis. 

11  pages  of  the  latter  portion  of  chapter  24  and  5  pages  of 
chapter  25  are  in  printed  form,  with  the  running  title  ' '  Maid, 
Wife,  and  Widow," — in  addition  to  the  MS. 

Chapter  29  in  the  MS.  contains  considerably  more  matter 
than  was  published. 

The  last  2  pages  of  chapter  34  and  the  first  of  chapter  35  are 
missing. 

Chapters  39,  40,  and  44,  made  up  with  printed  matter  from 
"A  Good  Fight." 

Chapters  41,  42,  and  43  do  not  appear  in  the  same  sequence 
in  the  MS.  as  in  the  printed  version. 

Chapters  45  and  46  contain  small  portions  of  the  printed 
matter  of  "A  Good  Fight." 

Chapter  47  to  the  end,  comprising  the  largest  portion  of  the 
story,  is  entirely  in  the  author's  autograph. 

The  entire  work  shows  numerous  corrections,  erasures,  ad- 
ditions, etc.,  and  in  addition  to  all  this  in  many  instanres 
differs  entirely  from  the  printed  story.  On  the  reverse  of 
some  of  the  sheets,  here  and  there,  appear  little  personal 
touches  in  the  way  of  notes  and  jottings  such  as  that  on  the 
back  of  one  of  the  rewritten  sheets  of  chapter  24:  "For  my 
Executor  or  Executrix.  C.  E."  "Cloister  and  the  Hearth" 
"A  portion  of  the  original  tied  up  by  me  in  my  rooms  at 
Magdalen,  Sept.  20,  1864." 

At  the  end  of  the  fourth  volume  are  55  folio  pages  of  notes 
and  memoranda,  including  several  different  versions  of  the' 
closing  scenes  of  the  story. 

The  most  important  Eeade  Manuscript  ever  offered  for  pub- 
lic sale.

together  in  a  quarto  volume,  half  cloth. 

*  THE  MANUSCRIPT  is  BELIEVED  TO  BE  UNPUBLISHED,  and  is 
one  of  a  series  written  for  the  ' '  Weekly  Journal, ' '  probably  in 
1821.     It  differs  in  style  from  Scott's  novels,  and  is  decidedly 
humorous.     The  letter  was  written  shortly  before  the  failure  of 
Constable  &   Ballantyne,   which   involved   Scott   financially   for 
the  remainder  of  his  life.     It  is  entirely  about  the  difficulties 
of   the    publishers    and    ways    and   means    for    raising    money. 
George  Hogarth  was  afterwards  the  father-in-law  of  Charles 
Dickens.

recovered.     Eegarding  his  finances  he  writes :      ' '  Well,  we  are 
arrived  in  Dublin,  but  so  poor,  that  unless  we  find  some  friend 
I  know  not  what  we  shall  do.  .  .  .    We  are  in  a  foreign  country 
where  our  name  is  scarcely  Icnown  and  where  no  one  will  give

he  asks  Oilier  to  come  to  him,  and  gives  directions  for  the  trip. 
He  speaks  of  the  necessity  of  instant  communication  and  the 

.  fact  that  he  has  received  no  parcels.  The  Olliers  published 
"The  Kevolt  of  Islam"  in  1818,  and  it  is  probable  that  the 
above  letter  had  to  do  with  that  undertaking.

the  plumage  but  forget  the  dying  bird."    There  are  a  number 
of  corrections  in  the  text  of  ' '  Helas ' '  and  these  may  be  in  the 
handwriting  of  Shelley.

*  A  most  interesting  literary  letter  to  Thomas  Love  Peacock, 
in  which  he  writes:        "0   that  I  could  return  to  England! 
How  heavy  a  weight  when  misfortune  is  added  to  exile,  and 
solitude,  as  if  the  measure  were  not  full,  heaped  high  on  both. ' ' 
He  expresses  great  admiration  for  "Nightmare  Abbey,"  Pea- 
cock's latest  work,  and  says  "  Cobbet  still  more  and  more  de- 
lights me  .  .  .  His  design  to  overthrow  banlc  notes  by  forgery 
is  very  comic."

"The  Cenci"  he  writes:     "/  see  my  tragedy  has  been  repub- 
lished  in  Paris — if  that  is  the  case  it  ought  to  sell  in  London, 
but  I  hear  nothing  from  Oilier.  ...    7  am  on  the  whole  greatly 
benefited  by  my  residence  in  Italy,  and  but  for  certain  moral 
causes,  should  probably  have  been  enabled  to  reestablish  my 
system  completely."

have  been  written  by  an  amanuensis,  the  entire  speech  in  the

speech  was  incited  by  a  bill  to  invest  the  Camden  and  Amboy 
E.  E.  with  unprecedented  prerogatives,  viz.,  ' '  that  no  time  dur- 
ing the  life  of  its  charter  would  it  T)e  lawful  to  construct  any 
other  railroad  in  the  State  of  New  Jersey  without  the  consent  of 
the  said  company. ' '  He  concludes  his  thrilling  and  denunciatory 
speech  by  saying  "South  Carolina  must  cease  to  be  a  slave 
State  and  so  must  New  Jersey."

876.  SWIFTIANA.    Manuscript  volume  of  21  leaves  (one 
leaf  blank),  4to,  morocco  back   (edges  of  leaves  ragged,  and 
two  or  three  leaves  repaired) . 

*  The  manuscript  consists  of  a  portion   of   one  of  the  epic 
poems,  in  Latin   (occupying  3  pp.)>  the  remainder  of  the  vol- 
ume being  taken  up  with  elucidating  at  length  certain  obscure 
words  in  the  poem. 

The  volume  was  formerly  in  the  collection  of  Frederick 
Locker  (with  his  bookplate),  who  secured  it  at  a  sale  at 
Sotheby's  in  July,  1877,  with  other  papers  connected  with 
Jonathan  Swift. 

While  there  is  a  similarity  in  many  respects  between  this 
writing  and  that  of  Swift,  a  note  by  Locker  expresses  the 
opinion  that  it  is  in  the  hand  of  Dr.  Thomas  Sheridan,  the 
grandfather  of  Eichard  B.  Sheridan,  and  friend  and  corre- 
spondent of  Swift.

*  Issued  privately  by  the  Bibliophile  Society.     This  Essay  is 
said   to  have  caused   the   estrangement   between   Whistler   and

"A  Criminal  Case."    7  pp.  folio.    Written  on  the  blue  paper 
he  generally  used. 

*  The  story  is  one  dealing  with  a  scandal  in  a  French  family, 
and  is  decidedly  interesting  in  character.     It  was  printed  by 
Thomas  J.  Wise  in  a  privately  issued  edition  of  20  copies.     A 
copy  of  the  proof  for  this  edition  accompanies  the  MSS.

Rochester,  1908 

*  Printed  privately   from   the   originals   in  the   collection  of 
Mr.  Bixby.     The  edition  was  limited  to  300  copies,  nearly  all 
of  which  were  presented  by  him  to  public  libraries.     His  col- 
lection of  Taylor  letters  is  the  largest  in  private  hands,  and 
Mr.  Bixby  made  them  public  in  order  to  throw  important  light 
on  some  of  the  obscure  points  in  the  history  of  the  Mexican 
war.     The  several  rare  portraits   of   Taylor   are  from  private 
plates  in  Mr.  Bixby 's  collection. 

The  Introduction  includes  the  first  biography  of  Taylor  ever 
written  that  was  based  on  the  family  papers,  and  gives  many 
facts  in  his  life  and  in  the  lives  of  members  of  his  family  that 
appear  nowhere  else.

printed  text  and  2  portraits  in  full  maroon  levant  morocco, 
the  front  cover  decorated  with  a  border  and  title  in  gilt. 

*  The  manuscript  occupies  over  forty  pages  of  various  sizes 
and  shapes  and  contains  a  number  of  changes  and  additions. 
It  is  entirely  in  the  handwriting  of  Thoreau. 

899.  THOREAU    (HENRY   D.).       Original    Manuscript

doublures  of  inlaid  poppies  and  dragon  flies  in  gilt,  moire 
silk  fly-leaves,  by  Toof  &  Co. 

*  This  is  a  very  characteristic  Thoreau  Manuscript,  written  on 
various  kinds  of  paper,  as  was  his  habit,  and  the  numerous  MS. 
corrections  to  this   "second  draft"  evidence  the  tremendous 
amount  of  revision  Thoreau  found  necessary,  before  the  finished 
manuscript  was  completed  to  his  satisfaction. 

900.  THOREAU  (HENRY  D.).     Original  Manuscript  of 
the  Revised  Version  of  the  first  two  Chapters  of  "  A  Yankee

of  old  rose  levant  with  inlaid  design  of  a  daisy,  watered  silk 
fly-leaves,  by  Toof  &  Co. 

*  A  fine  and  interesting  manuscript.     Scarcely  a  leaf  is  free 
from  manuscript  corrections,  either  in  pencil  or  ink,  two  or 
three  of  the  leaves  having  notes  made  on  the  reverse  side.

and  the  like.     6  pieces. 

*  At   the  top  of  one   of  the  sheets  is   written,  "  TJiese  in

List  of  books  sent  to  Thoreau  by  John  Chapman.     5  pieces. 

*  Opposite  the  various  items  of  books,  are  written  in  pencil, 
in  the  hand  of  Mr.  Sanborn,  the  initials  or  names  of  persons, 
presumably  those  receiving  such  volumes  on  Thoreau's  death, 
and  include  Emerson,  Alcott,  Town  Library,  Ripley,  etc. 

904.  THOREAU  (HENRY  D.).     Manuscript  page  from 
"A  Week  on  the  Concord"  (p.  78),  containing  many  cor- 
rections in  Thoreau's  hand.     1  p.  4to. 

"  On  the  reverse  side  is  a  portion  of  an  early  essay  by  Thoreau> 
which  Sanborn  in  a  note  says  "  perhaps  of  1834."     On  the  mar- 
gin is  written  a  quatrain  by  Thoreau: 
"  Who  hears  the  parson 
Will  not  hear  the  bell 
But  if  he  deafly  pass  on 
He  will  hear  of  hell." 

905.  THOREAU  (HENRY  D.).     Manuscript  pages  from 
his  Journal  of  1849.     Pp.  417-4*0.     4  pp.  4to. 

*  Two  of  the  pages  contain  MS.  notes  or  corrections,  written 
in  pencil  on  the  margin  at  the  end  of  the  paragraph. 

This  interesting  fragment  begins:  "7  cannot  imagine  a 
woman  no  other  than  is  the  mother  of  the  masculine  and 
the  feminine.  The  tenderness  and  affection  of  woman,  her 
mild,  prophetic  eye — her  finer  instincts  exert  an  influence 
on  man  from  which  he  is  never  weaned." 

906.  THOREAU  (HENRY  D.).     Autograph  Manuscript 
of  his  Calendar  for  March,  1860.     9  pp.  4to. 

*  In  his  various  daily  entries  he  has  noted  in  what  years  the 
same  phenomena  had  occurred,  with  the  dates  of  such  occur- 
rences, such  as  "  Sleighing  ends,"  "  Ice  all  out  of  river  proper," 
"  Frost  out  of  Garden,"  etc. 

A  notation  by  F.  B.  Sanborn  on  the  first  page,  states  that 
"these  nine  pages  cover  the  Natural  phenomena  for  March, 
I860." 

An  interesting  feature  of  this  manuscript  is,  that  the  reverse 
pages  contain  portions  of  Thoreau's  "Plea  for  John  Brown" 
(not  in  sequence),  which  would  perhaps  indicate  the  re-writing 
of  his  address  before  he  was  satisfied  to  deliver  it  to  the  people 
of  Concord,  Oct.  30,  1859.

907.  THOREAU   (HENRY   D.).      Original   Manuscript, 
"General  Phenomena  for  April"  [I860]. 

*  This  is  similar  to  his  notes  covering  March,  and  a  long  note 
on  the  wrapper  by  F.  B.  San  born,   says  in  part:  "These  are 
curious  and  valuable  Indexes  to  his  later  Journals  by  Thoreau 
himself.     They  fix  date  for  certain  natural  events,  and  give  a 
running  account  of  weather,"  etc. 

A  portion  of  this  manuscript  is  also  written  on  the  reverse 
side  of  the  sheets  used  by  him  for  his  "  Plea  for  John  Brown," 
this  portion  containing  the  first  page,  with  caption,  as  well  as 
the  last,  which  latter  is  here  in  duplicate,  showing  corrections.

and   writes   of   various   political   matters   in    an   indirect   way. 
He  states  his  pleasure  on  receipt  of  information  on  political  and 
other  subjects,  etc.

933.  -     -  Another  copy,  the  same. 

934.  WASHINGTON   (GEORGE).     Letters  from  George 
Washington  to   Tobias  Lear  with   an  Appendix  containing 
miscellaneous  Washington  Letters  and  Documents.    With  In- 
troduction and  Notes.     Engraved  portraits  on  India  paper, 
signed  by  S.  Hollyer,  illustrations  and  facsimiles.    Imp.  8vo, 
cloth  and  boards,  uncut.  Rochester,  1905 

*  One  of  300  copies  printed  from  the  Original  Letters  and 
Documents    in    Mr.    Bixby 's    Collection.      Most    of    the    copies 
have  been  presented  to  public  libraries.     The  illustrations  are 
portraits   engraved   on   steel   of   Washington   and  Lear,   and   a 
reproduction  of  Washington's  bookplate,  all  from  private  plates 
engraved  by  Hollyer  and  owned  by  Mr.  Bixby;  the  prints  are 
on  India  paper  and  are  signed  by  the  engraver.     These  engrav- 
ings appear  only  in  this  book.     There  is  also  a  view  of  Mount 
Vernon  from  a  private  plate. 

The  Letters  to  Lear  relate  largely  to  New  York  city  and 
Washington's  removal  to  Philadelphia  and  they  give  an  inti- 
mate view  of  the  family  life  of  the  first  President. 

The  Miscellaneous  Washington  Letters  and  Documents,  many 
of  which  are  unpublished  elsewhere,  are  of  very  great  personal 
interest  and  historical  importance.  For  example,  this  volume 
contains  the  only  correct  publication  ever  made  of  the  Instruc- 
tions to  Washington  by  the  Continental  Congress,  June  22, 
1775,  when  he  was  appointed  commander-in-chief  of  the  army. 
Even  the  various  editors  of  Washington's  Letters  and  of  the 
Journals  of  Congress  and  other  publications  by  the  Govern- 
ment, have  always  given  this  great  document  incorrectly,  print- 
ing from  an  erroneous  copy,  and  not  from  the  original,  which 
is  in  Mr.  Bixby 's  collection. 

With  the  Bixby  bookplate  by  E.  D.  French.

*  This  dialogue  first   appeared   in   the   July   and   September 
issues  of  "The  Nineteenth  Century,"  in  1890,  and  with  some 
alterations,  was  included  in  the  First  Edition  of  ' '  Intentions, ' ' 
published  the  following  year,  under  the  title  of  ' '  The  Artist 
as    Critic. ' '        The    erasures    and    alterations    throughout    the 
manuscript,   the  many   parts   re-written   and   the   frequent   re- 
versions to  the  words  originally  used,  very  clearly  illustrate  the 
author's  extreme  solicitude  in  his  choice  of  language. 

"The  Function  of  Criticism"  contains  Wilde's  ingenious 
defence  of  the  paradox,  the  usefulness  and  importance  of  do- 
ing nothing;  and  also,  many  of  his  most  sparkling  epigrams.

the  vocal  parts  beyond  the  Soprano,  Tenor  and  Bass,  the  text

four,  five  and  six  voices;  "Medius"  having  those  for  five  and 
six  voices,  and  "Sextus"  those  for  six  voices  only.     The  last 
page    (excepting  only  in  the  "Medius")   is  a  "Table"  and 
Colophon  and  all  the  parts  are  apparently  perfect.     The  cor-

skilfully  restored).  [St.  Andrews,  John  Scot,  1554] 

*  FIRST  EDITION,  very  rare.    Supposed  to  be  the  earliest  work 
of  Sir  David  Lyndesay  printed  in  Scotland.     But  few  copies  of 
this  work  can  be  traced,  this  one  being  the  D.  Laing  and  Fred- 
erick Locker  copy  with  the  former's  autograph  and  the  latter's 
"  Jester  "  bookplate.     The  Hoe  library  had  only  the  third  and 
fourth   editions,  and  the  Huth   library   the  second  and  third 
editions. 

In  the  edition  of  this  author's  works,  edited  by  Mr.  G.  Chal- 
mers, it  is  clearly  shown  that  this  edition  was  not  printed  at 
Copenhagen,  but  at  St.  Andrew  by  John  Skott,  an  English 
printer,  who  had  been  brought  from  London  by  Archbishop 
Hamilton.  Mr.  Chalmers  also  proves  that  the  correct  date  is 
1554,  and  not  1552  as  in  the  colophon.

*  All  the  editions  of  this  work  bear  the  Middleborough  im- 
print, and  are  without  date.     This  is  probably  the  FIRST  EDI- 
TION in  its  complete  form,  the  earlier  editions  containing  only 
a  portion  of  the  Elegies.     The  first  edition  [about  1596]  was 
ordered  to  be  burnt  at  Stationers  Hall,  in  1599. 

Frederick  Locker's  copy,  with  his  "Jester"  bookplate,  and 
notation  on  the  fly-leaf  in  his  autograph  as  follows :  The  elegies 
are  by  Marlowe — the  epigrams  by  Davys.  There  is  an  undated 
edition  at  Bridgewater  House,  probably  printed  before  1600, 
perhaps  shortly  after  Marlow's  death  in  1593.  This  may  be 
forty  or  fifty  years  more  recent.  The  early  edition  must  be

the  fly  and  the  cocoon,  and  the  book  is  not  in  Black  Letter  as 
stated  in  the  collation  given  by  the  Grolier  Club. 

Although  published  with  initials  only,  this  interesting  and

Thomas  Moffat,  a  distinguished  physician  of  the  Elizabethan 
period.  A  lengthy  description  of  Moffat  and  this  poem  will 
be  found  in  Collier's  Early  English  Literature.

issued,  8vo,  pale  pink  printed  wrappers,  UNOPENED. 

Lond.  1850 

*  COMPLETE  SET  OF  THE  FIRST  EDITION,  in  the  4  original 
numbers,  January,  February,  March,  and  May  (none  appeared 
in  April,  though  some  copies  have  the  word  April  pasted  over 
May).     This  copy  contains    the    rare    cancel  leaf  in   part   3, 
which  was  issued  by  the  publisher  to  enable  the  subscribers  to 
obtain  uniformity  in  the  titles,  the  third  and  fourth  numbers 
being  published  as  "  Art  and  Poeti'y.     This  was  occasioned  by 
the  fact  that  after  the  February  number  was  issued  Rossetti 
and  his  fellows  of  the  Pre-Raphaelite  Brotherhood  felt  that  the 
support  accorded  the  magazine  did  not  warrant  their  carrying 
it  on;  but  the  printers  shouldered  the  responsibility  and  the 
the  third  and  fourth  numbers  appeared  as  "Art  and  Poetry; 
being  Thoughts  towards  Nature."  After  this  it  was  discontinued 
entirely. 

Its  claim  to  high  literary  importance,  however,  has  long 
since  been  fully  recognized,  and  now  it  is  eagerly  sought  for 
by  collectors  as  one  of  the  chief  gems  of  early  Victorian 
Literature.  Most  prominent  among  its  literary  contributions 

171 


is  D.  G.  Rossetti's  first  version  of  the  celebrated  poem  "The 
Blessed  Damozel,"  besides  contributions  by  Christina  Rossetti, 
W.  M.  Rossetti,  Coventry  Patmore,  etc.,  etc. 

An  item  that  appeals  to  the  most  discriminating  collector. 
When  it  is  remembered  that  the  four  parts  are  difficult  to  find 
in  any  form,  the  present  copy  is  practically  unique,  each  part 
being  absolutely  unopened,  in  perfectly  fresh  condition  and 
with  the  excessively  rare  cancel  leaf  in  part  3.
